Synopsis: Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues in the
Scientific Linux 4x kernel are now available
Severity: important
Issued on: 2006-05-24
Problem Description:
Issue in the IPv6 implementation that allowed a local user to cause a
denial of service (infinite loop and crash) (CVE-2005-2973, important)
Issue in the bridge implementation that allowed a remote user to
cause forwarding of spoofed packets via poisoning of the forwarding
table with already dropped frames (CVE-2005-3272, moderate)
Isuue in the atm module that allowed a local user to cause a denial
of service (panic) via certain socket calls (CVE-2005-3359, important)
Issue in the NFS client implementation that allowed a local user to
cause a denial of service (panic) via O_DIRECT writes (CVE-2006-0555,
important)
A difference in "sysretq" operation of EM64T (as opposed to Opteron)
processors that allowed a local user to cause a denial of service
(crash) upon return from certain system calls (CVE-2006-0741 and
CVE-2006-0744, important)
Issue in the keyring implementation that allowed a local user to
cause a denial of service (OOPS) (CVE-2006-1522, important)
Issue in IP routing implementation that allowed a local user to cause
a denial of service (panic) via a request for a route for a multicast IP
(CVE-2006-1525, important)
Issue in the SCTP-netfilter implementation that allowed a remote user
to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) (CVE-2006-1527, important)
Issue in the sg driver that allowed a local user to cause a denial of
service (crash) via a dio transfer to memory mapped (mmap) IO space
(CVE-2006-1528, important)
Issue in the threading implementation that allowed a local user to
cause a denial of service (panic) (CVE-2006-1855, important)
Two missing LSM hooks that allowed a local user to bypass the LSM by
using readv() or writev() (CVE-2006-1856, moderate)
Issue in the virtual memory implementation that allowed local user to
cause a denial of service (panic) by using the lsof command
(CVE-2006-1862, important)
A directory traversal vulnerability in smbfs that allowed a local user
to escape chroot restrictions for an SMB-mounted filesystem via "..\\"
sequences (CVE-2006-1864, moderate)
Issue in the ECNE chunk handling of SCTP that allowed a remote user
to cause a denial of service (panic) (CVE-2006-2271, moderate)
Issue in the handling of COOKIE_ECHO and HEARTBEAT control chunks of
SCTP that allowed a remote user to cause a denial of service (panic)
(CVE-2006-2272, moderate)
Issue in the handling of DATA fragments of SCTP that allowed a remote
user to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion and crash)
(CVE-2006-2274, moderate)
